Shared Lane Markings (Sharrows)
Shared Lane Markings (also known as Sharrows) help bicyclists position
themselves in the right location and in the right direction in a lane that is
shared with motor vehicles. By following these markings, bicyclists can
avoid being hit by the open door of a parked vehicle or getting squeezed
next to a motor vehicle in a narrow lane. When you see a Shared Lane
Marking, you must look out for the presence of bicyclists and make sure
that you leave them enough space when passing. Shared Lane Markings
are not the same as the bicycle symbols that are used to mark bicycle lanes.
Bicycle Lanes
Bicycle lanes are portions of the roadway that are intended for use by bicyclists and are
marked by pavement markings or signs. Motor vehicles may only drive in these lanes when
turning on or off the road. Before crossing a bicycle lane, you must look carefully for
bicyclists, and you must cross with care.
Green Pavement
Green pavement is used in areas where there could be road sharing conflicts between
motor vehicles and bicycles. You should pay close attention and look for bicyclists before
crossing green pavement.
Stop Lines and Crosswalks
An intersection or pedestrian crossing with a stop sign, yield sign, traffic signal, or traffic
officer may have a solid white STOP line painted across it. You must stop your vehicle
behind this line. An intersection with a yield sign may also have a line of upside down
triangles painted across it.
You must stop behind stop lines, crosswalk lines, and yield lines if required to stop by a sign or
signal.
A crosswalk is a pair of white lines, or other distinguished pavement markings or materials,
painted across a lane to guide pedestrians from one side of the road to the other. A painted
crosswalk also warns drivers that pedestrians may be crossing the road. Crosswalks may
have diagonal or vertical lines painted between the two main lines.
